puts Within a Deep Forest back down

I feel like I should know better by now than to revisit games that seemed kind of hard when I was younger and had more patience

WaDF sure is... a 2006 game

with such innovative ideas as

"the entire game is an ice physics level"

and "an entire level themed around unmarked trial and error death traps"

it like... there's a certain feeling I get from certain games

caused by some combination of high difficulty, physics-based controls, slow pace, and sparse checkpoints

Snakepass was the worst I've ever had it

where it's been a long time since the last checkpoint

and I'm doing something hard

and I can just feel the death coming for me as I slowly slip out of control

and my whole body tenses up and I start hyperventilating

and it's awful
